Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching 20 years in practice is a milestone I hold with deep gratitude, as it reflects two decades of walking alongside individuals and couples as they navigate life’s transitions, challenges, and growth.

I am a licensed therapy who works with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions. I bring a thoughtful, compassionate approach to therapy and prioritize creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and human—not rushed or judgmental. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself while building insight and tools that support meaningful, lasting change.

I am a double board-certified family and psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner. As a Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe that healing begins with understanding. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can share your story without judgment and work toward meaningful, lasting change. I provide individualized, evidence-based care for adults facing depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorders, ADHD/ADD, and sleep disorders.

Hi! I have worked in and outpatient in Psych Nursing for 20 plus years. Getting to know patients, developing trust and educating are priorities.

I am a therapist who understands that everyone’s mind works differently. When you know your mind works differently from other people, you need a therapist whose mind works differently too. I have 15 years experience working with:

Neurodiverse folks (adhd, autism spectrum, sensory processing issues, AuDHD), animal people, grief and loss related to pets and people, menopause, elders, introverts, empaths, those experiencing social anxiety, isolation and/or loneliness, chronic health issues, life changes (including menopause) and life purpose. I also have experience working with the Native American community.

Being a "pre-elder", I've led many chapters of my life and have learned from every single one (even the cringey ones). It has taught me to focus on what is truly valuable and fulfilling and how to be comfortable just being me. I hope these things are cultivated in the therapeutic relationship with clients. My own neurospiciness allows me to connect with others that experience the world in a different way than neurotypical folks do, and my love for animals and kindness makes therapy with HSPs, empaths, introverts and animal people more connected as well.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over twenty years experience. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work with focus on Children and Families, a Master's Degree in Sociology with a Certificate in Criminology and Corrections, and a PhD in Social Work (all but dissertation) with focus on trauma, sexual abuse and assault, and domestic violence. I was the Director of a private, non-profit Foster Care and Adoption Agency, I worked in a women's shelter for domestic violence and sexual assault. I worked in a Level 4 men's prison, and I worked as a Supervisor for mental health therapists serving school systems. I have always had a private practice as well. I have worked in teletherapy for approximately 8 years.

I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Nina, a licensed therapist who is passionate about helping people feel better and live more fulfilling lives. I’ve worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and offer services in both English and Spanish. My goal is to support your well-being by helping you build skills, navigate challenges, and create healthier, more meaningful relationships.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.
